RE: Thompson Center Scopes
I can't speak for their rifle scopes, but I have owned a couple of their pistol scopes and they held up well. Both were variables in 2.5X-7X with lighted reticles and were mounted on T/C pistol barrels in .308 and 45-70. Even with that stout of recoil, they held zero well, were clear and bright. The warranty is shock-proof, fog-proof and good for life. As for who makes them, I have no idea.
